Jestermaxxing done well: you're funny, people want you around. Done badly: you're the group chat's emotional support hamster. The line between the two is status.

The rules

Punch up, never down
One joke per beat, then stop
Don't repeat your own bits
If you're the only one laughing, you're not funny — you're loud

The trap

Being funny becomes a survival strategy when your other social muscles atrophy. Build presence and warmth alongside it.
